--- Comment #3 from Joseph Mingrone <jrm at freebsd.org> ---
I've also seen it take longer to establish a connection after upgrading to 11. 
This is on a Lenovo X220 and a T530.

We have switched to the 5 GHz band at home, but I recall testing with all
things the same as before the upgrade and still seeing the problem.

Once the connection is established it is stable [1].

Here is partial output from /var/run/dmesg.boot on the T530:

[1]   As an aside, at work, the wireless network uses WPA-EAP.  Before 11, the
connection would drop so often it was not usable, but things seem to have
greatly improved in 11.  Thanks!
